Isaiah 44:18-20
Young's Literal Translation
18 They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.
19 And none doth turn [it] back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.'
20 Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there not a lie in my right hand?'

New International Version
Isaiah 44:18-20
New International Version
18 They know nothing, they understand(A) nothing;
their eyes(B) are plastered over so they cannot see,
and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
19 No one stops to think,
no one has the knowledge or understanding(C) to say,
“Half of it I used for fuel;(D)
I even baked bread over its coals,
I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable(E) thing from what is left?
Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”(F)
20 Such a person feeds on ashes;(G) a deluded(H) heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?(I)”
